Enjoy a PC that works the way you want it to; supports 64-bit technologies and offers XP Mode for your business productivity applications.
Make new things possible: watch Internet TV, pause, rewind, and record TV or use Touch to interact with your PC in new ways.

Features

Use XP Mode: Run many existing productivity and business programs designed for Windows XP – additional necessary software is available for download, free-of-charge from Microsoft.

Save time and money resolving IT issues: Take advantage of the powerful diagnostics and troubleshooters built into Action Center to resolve many computer problems on your own.

Interact with any compatible device connected to your computer: See device pictures and status and run common tasks from a single window.

Find the right printer: Use Location Aware Printing to identify your printer when moving between the office and home.

Windows 7 Upgrade Considerations

Depending on the version of Windows you're currently running, installing Windows 7 on your PC may be a lengthy process. Run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to make sure your PC can run Windows 7, and then review the information below prior to buying or installing Windows 7 on your PC.

If you switch from a 64-bit version to a 32-bit version of Windows, or vice versa, you'll need to do a custom (clean) installation. This may also impact other parts of your system.
